Bulls vs Raptors 7pm on WGN with some injury updates

Bulls vs Raptors 7pm on WGN with some injury updates
Richard Hamilton and Derrick Rose are slowly on the mend. Derrick Rose ran in water which was the first type of running he's done, and Richard Hamilton was able to go through a non contact practice. Both players will likely miss another week, but they're making progress towards recovery... Read more »

20-0 4th quarter run saves Bulls from embarrassing defeat

Okay, I suppose no defeat is that embarrassing if Derrick Rose is sitting. The Bulls simply aren't a great team without Rose and will likely lose a couple games to teams they'd normally slaughter if he were playing. On top of that, good teams drop games to bad ones all here and there regardless. Still, when the bulls fell behind for the majority of the game, it was hard to watch... Read more »

Bulls at Raptors 6pm on WCIU - Going with what they have

Bulls at Raptors 6pm on WCIU - Going with what they have
The most interesting potential waiver pick up, Derek Fisher, appears likely to don a Thunder uniform when he clears waivers tonight. Chicago hasn't emerged in the rumor mill with any other notable players either. Though I suppose anything is possible. The most likely scenario is still that Chicago goes with what they have, and I endorse the idea of sticking with the chemistry they've developed all season... Read more »

Bulls vs Raptors 7pm on WGN

The race for seeding slows down tonight as the Bulls are the only relevant top team playing.  They take on the Raptors at the United Center, in a game which they should be dialed into after losing to the Raptors in Toronto following the all-star break.

Rose's furious charge comes up short as Bulls fall to Raptors

Derrick Rose started off the game horribly, but was unstoppable down the stretch.  Unfortunately for the Bulls, DeMar DeRozan was similarly unstoppable down the stretch, and the Bulls couldn’t do enough to win the game. A lot went wrong for the Bulls, who had very poor interior rotation on defense allowing the Raptors to score... Read more »

Bulls blow out Raptors behind strong bench play

The Raptors took a brief lead early connecting on five of their first six shots.  My wife turned to me and said “I thought you told me this would be a blowout”.   I offered her the Raptors and 10 points.    That was about all the good news for Raptor fans, who can take... Read more »
